I have to send my HD back to UK from Australia for repair (because my Wi-Fi fails to turn on most of the time).
I bought it from handtec.co.uk and it had the Orange_UK_1.14.405.3 ROM preinstalled (Unlocked).
However, since I bought it I have flashed if several times using HardSPL but I didn't backup my original ROM first.
Question: If I re-flash it with Orange_UK_1.14.405.3 ROM from this site then remove HardSPL do you think they will accept or reject my warranty claim?
Or is there some other method I should use to prepare it for warranty return?
Thanks

Better safe than sorry... If you put back the original rom and the original spl, both of which should be somewhere in xda, I don't see where they'd be able to tell... I know of no other method for preparing a handset for return.
When I sent my polaris back to HTC USA, the lady I spoke with said it was fine to leave the custom rom on it, and I did, and nothing was said to me because it was there. I guess it depends where you're sending it back to...
--Jesse
because of the data protection act they wipe the phone so they probably wont know that it has a different rom and even so they arent allowed to boot it up properly to find out.
as said before better to be safe than sorry because you dont know how you can trust these days, over eager employee looking for a promotion could try it out - and get sacked for it - and then you fail warranty?
D
I was just wondering what is the differencec between the orange UK ROM and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466040
Cheers
And can someone help me to prepare my phone for the worse case?
I just get my HD for two days...
still looking around and reading alot to choose which coked rom that i will try
1st... but after what happened to our friends here it make me more carefull
so can someone tell me how to make a backup for my stock rom?
is it can be downloaded from HTC website , i allready look there but i cant find...
or maybe just can show me where i can read about this.....
thanks in advanced
The Link I posted above is the htc stock one, I also bought it from handtec and delivered. How do you know if it is orange? as there is no mention of it when you check the rom version So I assume it is HTC stock.
had same worries and found original orange rom
I had the same worries before putting on hard SPL on my device so looked on XDA for the rom and found it. the wiki for hard SPL will tell you exactly on how to reverse it and you should be able to return all to factory settings. Here is the link for the HTC stock rom from ORANGE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444158
On the same subject, what is the best way to backup a complete carrier ROM on a TOUCH HD before installing a custom one?
i wanna know that too.. im with o2 germany and theres no default rom to be found here =( so i have to save my rom off the phone before flashing to be on the save side. but noone is able to tell me =( or at least noone does (in other threads)

Hi nighty,
I had the same problem, O2 device and warranty incident. You can find the German O2 stock ROM 1.14.207.3 in German-speaking boards like ppc-welt.info or pocketpc.ch, but you'll still have the wrong ROM version displayed on the boot screen (RGD screen). I don't know why this is the case as nobody answered to my questions too
Hi nighty,
hatte das selbe Problem, O2 Gerät und Garantiefall. Du kannst das dt. Original-Rom in deutschspr. Foren wie ppc-welt.info oder pocketpc.ch herunterladen, wirst jedoch im Bootscreen (RGD Bild) eine falsche Rom Version angezeigt bekommen. Keine Ahnung warum das so ist, habe auf Nachfragen hier auch keine Antwort bekommen
dayum -.- imo it should be easier to READ (-> backup) the rom than WRITE (flash) it, i guess its called READ ONLY MEMORY for a reason
but i guess i have to be pacient until someone can explain how to do so before i can flash

dumping a stock rom is a simple process if you ask a rom chef or a very experienced user. but, since I personally don't do any of that, I would find it as difficult as anyone else having to churn through pages of search results and instructions.
So I started where you and the others wondering the same thing should have started: with the Search button. In a few seconds I found many topics searching on DUMP HD|BLACKSTONE ROM, and after a few minutes, found the actual application called pdocread in the wiki.
Start here, and see where this takes you --Jesse

i guess he just wants to be sure he can go back to old ROM if he doesnt like the new one
i||uSi0n^
This is a good read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44403
You can always contact toyour "support contact" for the old ROMs if you aren't happy with the upgrade. But I see no specific reason why a official stable ROM upgrade wont satisfy your mobile/PDA needs.
hey it is just the new upgrade i did
is draining too much of battery from my mda
dont know why
but i will give it like a couple of days and if it keeps on doing that then i will be goin back to the old rom
coz after all a phone has to be a phone and can not be on a charger all the time
Hi guys,
do you know where to get latest official HTC ROM from?
Mine went to crap (keeps rebooting) and it has to undergo waranty repair. I also want them to fix slow behaviour and hence I want to set back the software to HTC one.
Could you please help me?
Thanks a lot, P.S.

Try to exchange the battery. I had the same problem with my wings and now it works... The warranty was not valid for me cause i flashed HardSPL.
I cannot answer which one is the official rom right now, but look on the xda-devs ftp for any official rom.
well there is more problems with my phone, such as thick green line acroos every photo I take with camera. That is certainly HW problem (bad sensor) and I want it repaired. Thats why I want to load original ROM but I can not find it elsewhere, not on XDA FTP not on HTC site. Could someuone upload it for me please?
hoihoi
Do you have something to this thread?
Did you have backuped your Hard SPL?
Otherwise, maybe I could upload my backup, if that makes sence.
Or is that imposible, an hard SPL backup from an other device?
Or do I give than my warranty away?
I hope I have helped you, I also hope for answers from a senior member.
grtz,
Niels
ps: I hope I'm understoodeble . I sink inglish is not mi beste lengwich
Thanks man! It helps a lot!

Mary One is a custom ROM it can only be removed by re flashing with another ROM
if you want Windows 6.1 you could flash the original ROM (which you may be able to get from HTC or search within this forum)
Or i strongly recommend Duttys ROMS
if you want Windows 6.5 then there are several good ones out there Miri's are great i am currently on NRG Pheonix its superb.
search this Forum for guides to ROM flashing...its not too difficult it you follow the instructions carefully but you have to be aware of the risks (which are described in the tutorials)
cheers and good luck
thanks all . I'm assuming all I need is the new rom since my boot says 156oli nex. in which which one is most like the old htc orange rom ?
Hi Guys
As a avid folower of all the cooking and chefs i need some help
My X1 is still under factory warranty and seeing as the stock X1 was slugish , slow and plain useless i updated my ROM to the KOV110
Is there some way i can revert this back to the original factory rom so i could take it in for repairs still under the factory warranty
Currently the Sony updater just tells me to that the software is not recognized and i cant do a update of any kind
Reason i want to take it in is that the battery life is half a day from full charge and the signal drops permanently. The phone also restarts at will and hangs on ocasion regardless of where i am or what im doing.
Any help or sugestions will be apreciated
Thanks

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Tnx,i found everything already here for flashing all files and procedure to make my tab root and etc...but fu..ing bodering me is branded tab and locked sim card on my provider..and i dont know can i change other stock rom of sweden or even other provider rom to use..so far i found only one custom rom for 7320 but no explaination for using to branded tab only for unlocked tabs..i dont want bricked device..otherwise i will wait for how long i dont know fo update of my lazy provider to bring 4.04...
Hello,finally after cople hours of taking brave i started to do on my own risk everything and results are posititve.so i do exacly like imf ound here on forum and flased custom recovry and then flashed custom rom arciis and everything was fine for me..so conclusion is that you can even with branded tab make this becuse your modem and status of provider will not change and everything will work..threat can be closed and i hope for others that my scares will help for others with same problem...
